Review:~

 

Cover Page:  It shows the three main characters of the book. Well, I don’t have much to say about it.

 

6/10

 

Plot: Well, the plot was interesting but it’s format wasn’t. The plot did have mystery, love, betrayal, passion, and a little bit of thrill. But that’s it, it had everything but not a good way of interpretation.

 

7/10

 

Writing: 

“Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.”

7/10

 

Overall: This book was so filmy with Hinglish which I loved at first but then it became just annoying. The book starts with Neil getting out of jail and he there only told like half of the story.

It’s written from Neil’s POV in which he narrates his whole story to his boss. It would’ve been a good start if only the author haven’t revealed like more than half of the story beforehand. Only thing that was not revealed was how Neil was framed for the crime he never did.

Characters were not truly communicable. I was not able to connect with them in any way. Each character was kinda selfish. It was hard to go on with these kind of characters.

Now, after knowing half of the story beforehand, I was solely depending on author’s writing but that gave in too. Format was not good too. The book is divided into parts and just reading how the first part ended like ‘ Time for interval, we’ll move on after it.’  something like that which was enough for me to drop the book if not for a review copy I received.

Read only if you’re a big fan of filmy and Hinglish fan.

 

6/10
